The study was conducted in the Prosthodontics

of Jordan University of Science and Technology in
Irbid, Jordan. Prior to the commencement of the
study, criteria for the diagnosis and classification
of tori were agreed between the two examiners.

routinely been ascertained by visual inspection
and palpation. An examination protocol was
developed for recording lesions that included site
and clinical characteristics. The protocol was
piloted and finalized.
